is appassembler plugin broken for java service wrapper on windows 64bit?

Question

Hi

I'm developing on 32bit windows and am using appassembler to create a java service wrapper assembly, and it works ok. But I need to also create a 64bit assembly for deployment to a dev server. In the following config I have substituted the 32bit platform with the 64bit, see the <includes> section. But it no longer places the wrapper jar and dll in the lib folder. If I omit the includes completely, I get linux, solaris, Mac OSX and Win32 libraries, but no win64.

Anyone got this working?

The community version of the Java Service Wrapper included by the plugin does not have a Windows 64 version available (it must be purchased from the http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/ site).
